Livio Loi and Reale Avintia Academy have decided, by mutual agreement, to put an end to their collaboration in the Moto3 World Championship from today on.

The eight races since the beginning of the season could unfortunately not meet the expectations of both sides. Reale Avintia Academy staff, together with Livio and his management team Zelos. We put all efforts to make this project succeed but results never came and both parts were forced to take this difficult decision.

We are working on different project now to continue my racing career and hope to tell you more soon.

“It was a very fast race and we had problems on the corner exits. The engine didn’t accelerate enough and as a consequence, I lost lots of time on the straights. It felt like losing the game time and time again exiting the corners. I tried to get in touch with the fast group in front of me, but whatever I gained on the brakes, I would lose in acceleration. It was tough to fight on, because I was constantly losing positions. Now we have to analyse why I lost that much time. All in all it wasn’t a bad weekend, but today something strange happened. Now we have to look ahead and think of the next race.”

“I think we did a good day. In FP3 with used tyres we had good pace and then in qualifying I could make a good lap. At the end we found a good direction with the set-up of the bike and I think that if tomorrow during the warm-up we are able to make another little step we can be really competitive in the race. We will fight for it and I hope to be there.Due to 4 gridpenaltys for riders in my front,I will start from P13.

“I really think that we made a step forward today and that we are on the right track. I hope that we can continue this way and that I can make another little step tomorrow. I missed out on my chance to do a better lap time on the last two laps of the second free practice session. I went out with fresh tyres, but I got caught up in a big group of riders and there was a lot of traffic, otherwise I could have done much better. Tomorrow, we will be stronger. I am sure we can fight for a good qualifying result.”

“After a difficult weekend, we must be happy with this point. I want to dedicate it to Andreas, although it is not the result I dreamed of. I had a good start, but with so much distance to the front runners it is difficult to catch up. I’ve been trying to stay ahead of the second group, to push and to get away from them. I think that this morning we went in the right direction with the set-up. Now we have to continue like this so we can be even stronger at Assen.”

“We tested several things on the bike to try to find a better way, but nothing worked as planned. We need to check the data tonight and see where we can improve. We are still far from the top and we need to find something to go faster and to have better feelings, because we should be much higher up. If the feeling remains as it is with the bike, the race will be tough, because we lose in many areas of the circuit. I hope to find something that allows me to fight.”

“The day has been positive. We have been testing several things: tyres and some other ideas that can be useful for Sunday’s race. We are making steps forward and tomorrow we have to keep moving and improve in qualifying. We have to be there in the race and fight for Andreas. Our target is the top 10, but it won’t be easy and we will have to fight hard.”

“We have been fighting with the bike all weekend long and to top it off, I had to deal with strong pains in my right arm during the race. On the first two laps, I was quite fast, but then I started to feel the pain, which got worse from lap to lap. In the last part of the race, it was difficult to control the throttle, the gears and even the front brake. It was almost impossible to finish the race. Now I’ll go back home and consult my doctors in order to find out what is wrong with my arm, because this can’t happen again.”

“Today’s qualifying was something to forget. Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. We have to give everything tomorrow to make progress in the warm-up, to pull all stops and to make the best out of the situation.”

“It was a difficult day. We need to improve my feeling for the bike and to find a solution for tomorrow. My biggest problem is the corner exit. I am not bad on the brakes, but we have to improve corner speed because this is where we lose a lot. This evening, we are going to analyse everything in order to find a solution and to be more competitive in qualifying

“I was given a “ride through”, but I am not sure that I made a jump start. I will watch it later, but I really don’t think so. At least I am not aware of it. I started when the lights went out. But we have to accept the decision. Before the penalty, I think I rode a good first part of the race. Later, I was right on the limit because I ran into problems with the gear changes. Without all of that, I am sure I would have been able to score a few points, but it wasn’t meant to be. Now we will continue to work towards the next race at Mugello.”

“Things didn’t go as planned because I lost a lot of track time. We weren’t sure about the tyre choice and as a consequence I didn’t ride in the best way. In the second part of the qualifying session, I managed to use the tyres better and I was within the strongest group of riders. If I had been able to string a good lap with my best partial times together, I would be much more towards the front on the starting grid. We have the speed and the right way of riding and if we continue to work hard tomorrow and try a few more things, I should be able to fight for a good result.”
